THE DEATH PENALTY.
TREATMENT OF THE CONDEMNED. A FANCY 7 OF DEAN INGE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Received Nov. 6, 5.5 p.m. London, Nov. 5. Dean Inge publicly stated that a revolver and a cup of poison should be placed in a cell of every condemned criminal. He added: “We get rid of malefactors for the same reason that we shoot mad dogs, but we have no right to humiliate them unnecessarily.” Mrs. Bramwell Booth, m an interview, declared Dean Inge’s suggestion was horrible. She said : “A man has a right to die voluntarily for a great cause as Christ died, but this does not apply to criminals condemned to death. It has been the privilege of the Salvation Army to deal with many murderers and make their shameful death as happy as any Christian can experience. We found again and again that ing received an assurance of God’s forgiveness, that the paying of the penalty for crime was a light matter.”— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
